Handcolored Lithograph of Évêque Syrien (Syrian Bishop), Plate 12, 1862

About the Item

Handcolored Lithograph of Évêque Syrien (Syrian Bishop), Plate 12, 1862 This richly detailed handcolored lithograph depicts an Évêque Syrien (Syrian Bishop) in ceremonial vestments, representing the ecclesiastical traditions of the Syrian Christian Church. Plate 12 from the *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome* by G. Perugini, the illustration showcases the bishop adorned in ornate robes, including a gold-embroidered white alb, a flowing pink and gold mantle, and a mitre intricately decorated with crosses and floral motifs. The bishop's posture, pointing with one hand, suggests a gesture of blessing or proclamation. The meticulous detailing in the embroidery, combined with the use of vibrant gold, pink, and white hues, emphasizes the grandeur and spiritual authority of the office. Historical Context: The Syrian Christian Church is one of the oldest Christian traditions, with roots tracing back to the early Apostolic era. Known for its unique liturgical practices and richly symbolic vestments, the Syrian Church incorporates influences from both Eastern and Western Christian traditions. The attire depicted here reflects the hierarchical and ceremonial significance of a bishop's role within this community, underscoring the blend of spirituality and cultural heritage. Provenance: Published in Paris by L’Aubert and Lemoine, this lithograph is part of a comprehensive series that documents the diverse attire of clerics from various religious communities associated with the Roman Catholic Church and its neighboring traditions. An exquisite piece for collectors interested in ecclesiastical history, Christian liturgy, or Middle Eastern religious heritage. This work captures the enduring beauty and symbolism of Syrian Christian attire from the 19th century.
